The race to shape the future of computers is heated among technology companies, with Microsoft saying that A. Great progress in quantum calculationPotentially paving the way for technology to deal with complex scientific and social challenges.
Technology giant scientists have spent 17 years developing new material and quantum frame to help the power of its new processor The company has published its latest research in the magazine Nature.
Unlike traditional computers, quantum computers It can process huge amounts of data at the same time in ways that can revolutionize fields such as science, medicine, energy and Artificial intelligence. However, the quantum calculation is prone to errors due to the volatility of the quibits.
But Microsoft said it was a new top -controller – made of new indium arsenide material (semiconductor) and aluminum (superconductor) – can perform tasks at higher speed and accuracy from traditional quitas. The Majorana Chip 1 is designed to measure up to 1 million quit on one, a compact chip.
The news comes when several tech companies compete to improve quantum computers. In December, Google has discovered its latest quantum computer chip Called Wilow, claiming it can end up a complex computer challenge in 5 minutes that will last one of the fastest supercomputers in today's longer than 10 septilions.
Microsoft said it was well on its way to building the first world tolerant, scalable quantum computer over the years, not for decades. The attempt is part of the US Government's Advanced Defense Research Agency's initiative (DARPA) designed to do Quantum computer practical for the real world.
